Living a healthy lifestyle and offering people creative plant based cooking ideas is a passion for Ron.

In 2013 Ron appeared on ABC’s The CHEW winning its “Hunky Husband Cook-off” with his signature Black Bean Burger. People from across the country began to contact Ron about how to transition away from a meat-centric diet.

In response Ron launched his Callicoon Kitchen brand and began posting creative, easy to follow how-to cooking videos and recipes giving people hands-on techniques for making vegan dishes that they can incorporate into their own lives.

A vegetarian for 20 years Ron’s recipes are now 100% vegan and he is committed to sharing his belief in the benefits of organic produce and an active, healthy lifestyle. Ron lives in New York and Virginia with his wife and three daughters.
